Read and Review

Already dead

So kill my head

There's a sun in his eyes

It won't go away

I'm already dead

Why is it I can't kill my…?

He would never sleep

Said, I didn't mind it at all

Made me feel quite cheap

Looking back on it all

Then there was this kiss

He said that he couldn't resist

And was I aware of what I missed?

That night I slept on his couch

With my back turned to the wall

Nothing assumed but you know

You know

In the morning we said nothing at all

All I could think was this:

He said that he couldn't resist

And was I aware of what I missed?

Ch2. La vie d'un rideau a la creme

(Eve POV)

I unlocked the front door and waited for Hana to lock up the car, I heard running inside the house and I figured my older sister, Rika who was a year older than me, was messing around. I opened the door and walked inside, I saw Rika on the floor sewing something on her dress and she looked up then smiled at Hana, but groaned at me. Rika and I haven't seen eye to eye since we moved here, and I really didn't wanna bother with her right now so I walked passed her. "Still not speaking?" she sniggered behind my back and went on, "At least we don't have to hear her annoying singing anymore." I looked at her, she smiled knowing she hit a sore spot of mine; I used to sing to my father and mother back in Paris, Rika hated when I sang better than her and I knew it too. "Rika, shut up please. We're not in the mood for your crap. Besides don't you have homework to do?" I heard Hana say as she toke out her notebooks; Rika rolled her eyes and said, "I don't have homework." She practically spat out, now getting up and pushed passed me. I watched as she went up stairs, I looked over at Hana and I sighed, "Eve, she doesn't mean it….she's just being herself." She told me as I looked at her; I nodded not really believing her and went up stairs to finish up my homework.

My life before La Push was something out of a dream, my family's smiles were not without joy and life was a beautiful adventure until mother got sick. Our world was crushed when she was gone, my sister's say it's the day mom took my voice.

I lay back down on my bed after I finished my home work and my mind was drifting to that of the memory of Paul, he was known for his volatile behavior and there he was talking to me or at least trying to. I didn't know what to make of his sudden interest in me, but I was sure to stay cautious of his actions. My eyes were getting heavy and I was starting to fall asleep, when I heard a loud howl from outside my open window I couldn't think straight so I finally shut my eyes and slept.

(Paul's POV)

I was standing in the forest waiting for Jake to phase and I had it in my head to bombard him with questions about Eve's address, I remembered the conversation I had with Sam, before I went to patrol, about imprinting. I was happy to have imprinted on her and it brought a smile to my face when the thought of us being together forever came up in my mind.

-Flashback-

"Just don't go overboard, Paul, please. The last thing I need is for you to be scaring off your imprint and for you to come here in the middle of the night to bother Emily and me about it." He groaned now taking a seat on his porch; I stood there dumbstruck at his comment. "Who in the hell said I was gonna come over in the middle of the night to ask you all for help?" I growled taking a defensive stance in front of him and Sam only looked up with a knowing smile on his face. "Imprinting is a make or break situation, she might be able to resist the imprint if there is no trust and that's why I put it that way." He told me and I glared at him, "I'm not gonna screw this up, ok?" I said looking at the floor boards and I heard Sam chuckle, I looked up at him he still had that knowing smile and it was kinda freaking me out did he know what was going on in my head without having to be a wolf? Did he know I was worried about screwing things up?

My train of thought was disturbed when Emily came out from inside the house, I looked up and saw her smiling at us, but I knew she was smiling at Sam though. "So the big bad wolf finally imprinted?" she asked now looking at me, a smile clearly on her face, I groaned and nodded back looking at the floor. I saw Embry run out from the forest and jog up to the porch, "Hey, where's Jake?" he asked now looking from me to Sam then to Emily. "I don't know, but I'm sure he'll show up soon." After awhile of waiting for Jakes lazy ass, I looked at Emily and Sam, and then I turned at the sound of footsteps walking onto the porch. It was Jake, just the guy I wanted to see, he caught my eyes and he had the look that said, "I know what you're going to ask." And we got ready for our patrol.

-End of Flashback-

I stood in the forest as a wolf waiting for Jacob to phase, I noticed no one had phased yet because Embry and Quil were patrolling with us and I couldn't hear their thoughts. I took this time to think of Eve, I couldn't believe that I hadn't noticed her at the start of the year. I mean she was practically the only natural red head. I remember her eyes the most; they were a rare color that I had seen in photo shopped pictures, dark purple, was the color- "Lavender, you mean." I heard Jake say in my head and then Embry and Quil started cracking up. "You assholes were there the whole fucking time?!" I growled at them as they emerged from the bush and walked over to me, hearing their laughter on my head and their stupid attempt to laugh as wolves. "Hey at least I try to laugh, unlike your grumpy ass." I heard Embry say and I snapped at his right leg, hearing him yelp and run off to patrol. Quil gave Jake and me one last look and took off in another direction. "Ok, let's get this over with Paul, I'll let you patrol close to where Eve lives, but no looking into her window, alright?" he warned and I rolled my eyes while looking away, after he gave the address to her house I ran off to patrol.

2 hours into the afternoon and I was getting annoyed with Jake's nonstop rambling about Bella and the leech she was dating. The sun was barely starting to set and I was finding it hard to resist not seeing her, but I had to finish the patrol. After I finished patrol I decided walk close to where she lived when I caught a familiar scent lingering in the area in which she lived and I run off, thinking to myself that the smell was getting stronger. My paws started to ach, but I didn't care and I already knew where Eve lived and I had to make sure she was ok.

(Eve's POV)

I had shifted in my sleep when I had felt fabric move under me, I cracked open my eyes and saw Aeslin sitting at the foot of my bed. Aeslin was another sister in my family, we had wondered where she had gotten her jet black hair and green eyes from, but I remember mother telling us that Aeslin had that "special gene". I never thought about it at the time, but I saw that she looked mother. She was sitting there and so I sat up. She looked at me with a shy smile; her big green eyes were somewhat sunken in due to lack of sleep. Aeslin had been sick ever since our mother died; she stopped eating and was losing more weight than the whole family was comfortable with. Her pale skin turning a bit yellow from the lack of nourishment, and sometimes we would have to force feed her so that she wouldn't end up at the hospital, but there was only so much we could do. In her prime she had lovely white creamy skin and had a full figure, but these days she didn't really care about how she looked.

I looked at her and nudged her with my foot for her to say something, she kept looking at me then spoke, "Dinners ready, come down when you're fully awake, ok?" she stated and paused for a bit, "How was class? Hana tells me you may have a future gentlemen caller?" she asked and I nodded, now swinging my legs over to the floor so that I was sitting next to her. I watched as she stood up and head for the door, but she turned to me, "See you downstairs." She said before disappearing from the entrance of my room.

I sat there thinking about absolutely nothing, when I felt the urge to go look out the window. I stood from the bed and walked and looked outside, something about the night made everything I saw more alive and mysterious. I had loved running around with lanterns at night when our mother was alive; I loved how the dresses we wore flowed behind us as we kicked up dirt from our heels, while running bare footed. I looked through the line of trees, that lead into the forest, I was always so curious about going inside and exploring, but I was afraid being attacked by a wild animal. I saw something move from under the trees and my eyes immediately caught something large and from the way the moonlight hit the object it had emitted a silver light. I was transfixed on the object below and I was fortunate enough to see it move, it was a rather large looking silver and grey wolf. Being frozen in place, I felt that if I had moved from my spot it would vanish.

"Eve, are you coming to dinner?" I was startled from my staring, by Luna, the oldest sister. Her blond hair fell around her shoulders almost hugging them and her mismatched eyes started at me, one light blue and the other light lavender, I nodded and she gave me a quick smile before leaving. I turned back to the window I found that the wolf was gone and I was convincing myself that it was real, but I felt my stomach grumble and I left my suspicions at the window and left my room.

I walked down the stairs and saw my sisters and our father sitting at a rectangular table filled with plates of food, my father looked up and smiled at me. I took my seat in between Hana and Aeslin, Luna and Rika sat together across from us and my father sat at the head of the table. It was meatballs and spaghetti night, I was piling loads of it on my plate and I was feeling very hungry. I looked at my father when he asked me to pass the plate of bread that was next to me, after handing him the plate I started eating. "So? How was school?" dad asked us, I looked up shrugged and Hana spoke, "It was ok, nothing happened." She answered before going back to slurp up her spaghetti, Rika sat up straight and beamed at our dad.

"My friend, Bella, says she knows some people in La Push." She said looking at Hana and then to me, I looked at Hana who was rolling her eyes. "That's good honey, how was school for you?" he looked up from his plate to look at Rika and Aeslin. "It was fine." I heard Aeslin say, but Rika cut in. "Bella has the coolest friends ever! They're really awesome!" she exclaimed. I inwardly groaned, but I was glad that Rika went to Forks high school although I wish that Aeslin didn't go with her. I finished my plate and took up everyone else's; I went into the kitchen to start cleaning up when I heard Rika speak again. "God when is she gonna get out of that stupid habit, it's been 3 freaking months." She paused and started speaking again when Hana cut her off, "Shut up, she can do whatever the hell she wants, ok? The last thing she needs is for you to be acting like a bitch." She whispered the last part, but I guess dad heard because he made a sound like he was clearing his throat. "You girls shouldn't be fighting; Eve is going to get through this alright?" I heard him say and by this time I was listening in on the other side of the door. My heart went out to my father who still believed that I was going to speak again, he loved to hear me sing when mom was alive and he missed my voice on the days he needed to hear from me. After dinner I sat in Hana's room waiting for her to come out of the bathroom, I was walking around observing little trinkets that she kept before the move. Every now and then I glanced at the green crème colored curtain and I thought of ways of making into a dress. I ran my fingers through the fabric, thinking of mom and her strange yet fashionable way of making curtains into dresses. I had picked up this habit from her and I felt that it was the only way to keep her memory alive.

"You can have it you know." I spun around to find Hana smiling at me from the door way. I nodded a thanks and I sat on her bed while she took a seat on her computer chair. "Do you think of Paul?" she suddenly asked me, I looked up at her confused by what she meant. Hana giggled and sat down next to me putting her hand over mine. "I think he likes you and I also think you should give him a chance." She said and then continued, "You'll never know, he might be able to get you talking again." She said in a matter-of-fact tone. I looked down and sighed before getting up and grabbing a clean sheet of paper and a pencil, I started writing stuff down.

Did you not see what happened to Bobby Mill today during lunch?

Or was it just me because I'm too young to find out that I'm going crazy.

I don't think he'll find anything cool about me.

I gave her the note and she laughed after reading it, "Bobby's an idiot, I would have beaten the crap out of him too if he played a prank on me. Besides I don't think Paul would be like that with you, I mean, didn't you see the way he was looking at you when we left for home? Eve, the boy couldn't take his eye off you." She stated giving me the "c'mon" look; I nodded and took the paper back and began writing.

I did notice, but that doesn't mean he likes me.

For all I know he could be coming up with a way to make fun of me.

I saw the way his friends were look at me, it was like I was fresh meat in their eyes.

I gave her back the paper and she smacked my arm making me flinch. "Listen you, his friends care about him and they were probably wondering about you. Please don't think anyone's going to hurt you or make fun of you. Just him a chance ok, you may like what you see and I don't want you to regret not doing it later on, alright?" she asked me and I nodded, taking the paper and writing on it again.

Ok, I'll take a chance…
